OSITIONING

THE

LATFORM

Positioning the platform as close as possible to the work area requires some planning. First, you must sur-

vey the work site to find a suitable place to park the machine. This must be a firm, level area as close as

possible to the work area. Take into consideration all obstructions on the ground and overhead, and avoid

them.

Once you have moved the machine to a firm, level surface as near as possible to the work area, follow the

instructions on the following pages to position the platform as close to the work area as possible.

Always, before operating any function, check the area around and overhead for any obstructions or electri-

cal conductors.

WARNING

NEVER exit the platform while the boom is elevated. Keep both feet on the platform floor at all times.

ULTIFUNCTION

ONTROLS

The UpRight AB62 employs the use of multifunction controls. This means that the riser or boom extension

will function at full speed while simultaneously operating the upper boom, jib, turret, or rotating the plat-

form.

WARNING

If the tilt alarm sounds, lower and retract the boom, then drive the machine to a firm, level surface

before elevating.
